Censer/Incense Burner

Purpose

Safely burns incense, resins, and herbs during ritual. Carries prayers and intentions upward with the smoke.

Description

Heat-resistant container made of brass, copper, ceramic, or stone. May be hanging or standing. Designs range from simple bowls to ornate dragons, pentacles, or deity figures. Often filled with sand or ash for heat protection.

Usage Notes

Fill with sand or ash before adding charcoal disks. Light charcoal until glowing, then add resins or herbs. Place in a central location during ritual. Smoke carries intentions to the divine and cleanses space. Ensure proper ventilation. Let cool completely before handling.
